Oh - oh my. This is...lovely's not the word for it. Beautifully tragic? I don't even know.
Lukas, trying to make sense of his ridiculous situation, in denial and not in denial, trying and failing to use humor to make it better, finding out that understanding Miro means understanding himself - amazing.
Miro, filled with conflict, filled with longing, looking for something and not knowing how to find it, asking all the right questions to everyone but himself - also amazing.
I have been enjoying these so far, but this one's made me the most incoherent by far. You've done a good job of preserving what makes the pairing special - foreigners in a foreign land, religion (I can't WAIT for the priest AU), the age difference, the bond between strikers. Of course, being a child of immigrants and a somewhat conflicted Catholic myself, I end up doing a lot of empathizing, too!
Please keep these up! I don't want to add to my rec list until I find some more things, but I have a feeling these will end up there once you finish~. ~^
